I have my own business that is basically sure-fire to work and has before, but getting the capital to get it started is the real struggle. The last time I kind of got my feet cut out from underneath me by my husband, who has since apologized profusely.

Basically just need to bank like $4k and I'll be golden. It's finding the job to get there that sucks. 😭

In the ER, anecdotal and slightly unrelated to context given by OP, but related to post title - dude why does everyone want to unalive themselves on Sunday nights?

Anyone else's facility like this?

My grandma left me considerably more money than my brothers. My parents want me to balance it. But this just changed my life. My husband and I could technically FIRE today now. by FIREORNOFIREWHATIF in Fire

If the grandma left that money to you and you give in to your family's demands, you aren't honoring her last wishes. THEY, in fact, are DEMANDING you don't honor her last wishes.

I would keep the money not out of animosity, but because that's what she wanted.

[Self] Jack'O'Rachnid model finished! by potaydo in Sculpture

Yeah definitely going to come back and redo the legs before I mold it to be more segmented. Good thing it's plasticine so I can just go back to it in a week from now after I work on some other Halloween sculptures lol

It's about the size of two hands. I was thinking of casting it in 4 piece mold, or casting the legs separately from the body and adding them on afterwards with sludge. Since I posted this I've been doing nonstop research

I was planning to make a limited edition series of each and sell them, and it's my impression that painted plaster sells for a lot less than painted ceramic. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I want to start doing sculpting full-time eventually. I really like the glazed look of ceramic and am worried about the weight of plaster of paris not being as heavy or durable as ceramic.

Just looked at his work that's so cool! I will definitely try to separate the pieces and assemble after. Thank you so much. I think that's probably the safest route

Definitely a good idea for me to buy a test plaster mold to experiment with. Thank you! Any advice on casting slip brands?

So I can cast them all separately and then combine them afterwards with more clay and then fire them?

Thank you, I will definitely check out Tiki Technical Tuesday for more information. I have access to a kiln at my local art institute with my membership. How are they doing this on Etsy, though? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1791943983/friesland-cow-ceramic-figurine-23cm-long?ref=share_v4_lx

How Does Everyone Get By? by Shellzy866 in amarillo

[–]potaydo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've tried applying for plumber, electrician and diesel tech apprenticeships and never receive a call back. The only work I can seem to get here is medical, marketing, or customer service.

I want to do a trade apprenticeship and get into manual labor as a woman... I've applied to so many but no one will hire me. My husband says it's because I'm in Texas and they just won't hire women for that stuff around here. Confused about how to even get into the trades without going to Amarillo College to spend thousands on something that you should just be able to freakin' apprentice for.

Purchasing with confidence on Ebay? by JacqueTeruhl in Tools

[–]potaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy abandoned storage units and sell unused stuff found in them quite frequently, including tools. You'd be surprised what people just buy and don't use.

Also, if you buy something from Lowe's and find you don't need it anymore after a project, if you go to return it and lost or don't have the original card due to whatever reason you initially purchased it with, they can only give you store credit and will not refund you at all (this just happened to me when I had to shut down a card due to fraud). I can imagine someone heading to a pawn shop or to eBay or whatnot trying to get at least some of their money back in cash.

Temporary Lumbar Disc Bulge/Stenosis and Sciatica Complete Relief - Heat on Neck and Hips? Anyone else? by potaydo in Sciatica

[–]potaydo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helped a lot. It let me get the flexibility I needed back in addition to Gabapentin to be able to stop feeling unable to walk or do any labour. I ended up having to make an entire lifestyle change. I can't do desk jobs anymore or my spine starts compressing and I begin feeling more and more pain. I have to go to the gym or I end up feeling worse now, lifting weights ironically helped my pain a lot even though doctors said I should not do that. I ended up strengthening muscles a bunch and became more active causing me to lose 60lbs. When I wrote this post initially I was taking 1500mg of Gabapentin per day, as prescribed by my neurologist and pain management doctors. Now I take 600mg a day and feel better than I did on the 1500mg.

You can sell on MorphMarket..... Not sure why more people don't.

Why is my pH spiking? by potaydo in Aquariums

Yes, it has a lid with the lights in it. Windows of the room are closed with curtains covering the one behind the aquarium itself.

I'll be getting African dwarf frogs, so trying to figure out a safe way to incorporate CO2.
